Continued from last week. The Indo-Europeans attacked every aspect of North America with unparalleled zeal. The Native people were ruthlessly destroyed because they were an unassimilable element to the civilizations of the West. The forests provided materials for larger ships, the land was fresh and fertile for agriculture surpluses, and some areas provided sources of slave labor for the conquering invaders. By the time of the Industrial Revolution in the mid-nineteenth century, North America was already a leader in the area of the development...

The Connetquot school district has initiated legal action against the state Board of Regents, challenging a statewide prohibition on public schools employing Native American imagery, mascots, and names. This legal challenge, lodged in the Eastern District of New York this past Monday, labels the ban as “unconstitutional.” The district argues that the Board of Regents, responsible for shaping many of the state’s educational guidelines, has overstepped its bounds. According to the newly introduced regulations, schools are mandated to phase out r...

In a letter add...

By Isaac White. Have you ever watched those movie preview videos on YouTube? You know, the video is a list of such and such with some trailer and in-movie footage included? We like those in our house and I do find them useful. Of course the people hosting the videos are nowhere near the high level of charm I possess. I’m putting one in early just so I establish a good baseline. But seriously, I do find them to be useful much of the time and that’s how I found the movie I’m going to review this week. To be completely forthright however, I must...
A state commission in Minnesota is currently engaged in the design of a new state flag and seal. This initiative is in response to concerns over the present emblem, which many view as offensive to Native Americans. Minnesota’s state flag predominantly features its state seal set against a blue backdrop. This seal showcases a Native American riding into the sunset while a white settler cultivates his field, his rifle propped up against a nearby stump. Many interpret this imagery as insinuating the departure and defeat of the Indigenous p...
Across the expansive White Earth Indian Reservation in Minnesota, the native tribe has historically depended on waters for wild rice harvesting, sturgeon restoration, and supplying bait for fishing. However, climate change-induced droughts and agricultural irrigation are jeopardizing these waters. Added to this, manure runoff from large farms could further contaminate the remaining water sources. In response, the tribal government introduced an ordinance last year. It restricts water withdrawals from the reservation and neighboring areas...
